FREE CONVERSATION （３５２）

Does listening to music at work make you more productive or less productive?

Well, it depends on types of music.
I think my favorite music will attract me and interfere in my thinking,
so it will definitely make me less productive.
But if I don't like nor hate the music, it will not bother me.
Even so, I'm not saying it will make me more productive.
In this connection I may add that noise is better than music because I've learned
that some background noise will help our concentration.
